I came across these older photos of my studio several months ago, and thought I'd let you see a glimpse of where I create. Trust me --- my room does NOT look like this now. You'd be stunned at the difference. Gives me incentive to tidy up, anyway!!!

This pail came from one of my favorite stores in Santa Fe, called Poem.

My sewing table is the area that is the messiest right now. I can't seem to ever get a handle on that one! Sheesh!

My paint, paper and collage area. Come to think of it, this is a mess too! Haha!

My inspiration board. It has a lot more on it now.

Anyway, this is my little space. I do love it. I'd like to paint it someday. Hmmmmmm.......what color?

A beautiful day in Santa Fe last weekend brought us to the Indian Market. Too many people, but look what I found --- and for only $10.00!!! It makes a statement with anything I wear; I don't think I've ever gotten so many compliments on anything!

And look at this little doll we saw there. My husband snuck a photo of her.Now, really, does it get any cuter?!(Click on the image to see the full cuteness...)

Hello! Wow --- I found these really great simple small journals on clearance at the bookstore, so I thought it'd be fun to collage the covers. And I was right!!

Who doesn't love the shape and design of repeat circles.....

Random!!

I love little houses and flowers....

A little more elegant........

I would love some feedback here......... I feel like I jump around to so many different kinds of projects and techniques! I look at other artists, and see so much more of a consistency. I have such a desire to try so many different things. I guess I shouldn't overthink this and just have fun, but I would love to hear from others on this topic..... Let me know!!

I live in New Mexico with my wonderful husband. I have a beautiful 21-yr old daughter, who is a full-time college student. I love color and texture and all things handmade. Making art with my own two hands is the most satisfying thing in the world to me.
